Levellers Barrel Of A Gun Lyrics

Barrel Of A Gun Lyrics

1,2,3,4



In a strange land

far from these shores

lay two
men and a woman

killed by the law



No matter what country

Under the sun

You can't mete justice

From the barrel of a gun



A car bomb they say

The S.A.S. on offense

Shot in the
back

Makes no difference



Oh no, Oh no, 

So no matter
what country

Under the sun

You can't mete justice

From the
barrel of a gun, a gun.



Shoot to kill

'til both sides have
their fill

'til both sides have their martyrs

and all the kids have
no fathers



Oh no, oh no, 

So, no matter what country

Under the sun

You can't mete justice

the barrel of a gun



Oh, 'til you mothers have no sons

'til your battle it is won

Tell both sides

they have lost

all the blood that it cost



So, no matter what country

under the sun

you can't mete
justice

No, from the barrel of a gun
